Giving school supplies is an unexpectedly complex and important part especially to children who are always wishing to receive from their loved ones and even from other people.  It helps to define relationships and strengthen bonds with their family and friends. Indeed, psychologists say it is often the giver, rather than the recipient, who reaps the biggest psychological gains from a gift. But for the children, the act of gift giving can be found fun and exciting and can easily create happiness to children.

         Surprisingly, Mr. Kenji Mori, who was found one of the most generous Japanese, came to the Philippines particularly in Balanga and Bataan to donate more than thousand pieces of crayons, pencils, basketballs and volleyballs. He also donated 2 kinds of speaker and wireless microphones. Moreover, these giving gifts can be considered an important way to build deepen relationships between two nations.

        Likewise, this social value of giving has been recognized throughout the school when gift giving days were conducted this school year 2016-2017. And these joyful events were customary celebrated and the hope that these children would be able to reciprocate this kind of kindness even to other people in some form or another at some future time.
